US-Japan Maintain United Front Against China

We discuss what these visits signal for US-Japan ties moving forward with foreign policy expert Jonathan Berkshire Miller. We also get an update on the state of play of the Japanese vaccine roll-out, and as well as the outlook for the Tokyo Olympics in July.
